About Me

CURRENT MISSION

While I´m searching my place in this world, I`m trying to become who I am. ;) Namaste!

ABOUT ME

I´m an easy going and very social person. Sometimes I´m introverted and sometimes extroverted - sometimes I feel lost and sometimes I feel found in my life with theese roller coasters of emotions. My heart is full of music, sun and dance. I like dancing, especially Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Zouk, Merengue and other dancing. I enjoy travelling and I am interested in different cultures. I like to listen to different kinds of music and to the lifestories of friendly people.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that
being thankfull, consciousness, compassion, inner freedom and inner light, open heart, community, carefullness, living in here and now, living without judgement, showing mercy and being open for surprises and new experiences
are our keys to open the door to the joy of life.

The dreamer

Life is a song – sing it.
Life is a game – play it.
Life is a challenge – meet it.
Life is a dream – realize it.
Life is a sacrifice – offer it.
Life is love – enjoy it.
- Sai Baba of Shirdi –

One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star. - Nietzsche -

When you do things from your soul, you feel the river moving in you, a joy. - Rumi -

A friend is someone who sees your smile ...
... and still feels your crying heart.
